4.1 on Verizon 7250
 

I have about 20 Blackberries in my organization and more and more recently we've all been getting the infamous 'data connection refused' error message. After calling Verizon numerous times, I was finally escalated to their senior network engineer who told me that the 4.0.2.41 handheld code had a bug in it that was causing the error.

He went on to tell me that the Verizon 4.1 software would be released at the end of April - "April 28th or 29th" were his exact words. The only solution they had for the dcr error was to downgrade the code and lose tethering capabilities.

I can confirm that what you heard is correct, I didn't believe that it came from Verizon myself when I heard it.

Talking about 20 BBs, we have close 6,000, luckily not many of them are 7250.

yes, it will be out within the next 2 weeks....4.1, for the 7250:smile:

Will the 4.1 give us added functionality with BIS 2.0? Currently the 7250 does not get additional icons for each email address being used and there is no icon for going directly to the BIS configuration page.

seems like you will have the added icons...

More importantly, will Dial By Name work with Verizon 4.1?

Again, this seems to be part of the package, but that's just what I have been told...We shall see..

So I guess the April 27 release rumor was wrong...

From the latest Vendor.xml, it appears they were testing 4.1.0.241 and will be releasing 4.1.0.323 for the 7250 - not sure when, though.

SaskTel (Canada) will be releasing 4.1.0.329 at some point as well. Their download page has not yet been updated either, though.

is this timeframe still close to reality? if so, where can i find the download?

as of today - I still don't see it. This is where you should be able to get the latest OS from...

I wonder, will this also fix the roaming indicator problem some of us have been having?

Could you elaborate on this. What effect does this have on your service?

SO will 4.1 software update allow us to transfer data via bluetooth. My Toshiba M400 has bluetooth but cannot symc via bluetooth.
Also anyone here if the 4.1 update will apply to the desktop software and the handheld software? If so, when will it be out

No material effect that I can tell other than a persistent roaming triangle at the top of the screen next to 1X.

Well, I called Verizon yesterday and due to "bugs" with the code, it was pushed back "supposedly" to May 5th. So let's see what happens now...

May 5th of what YEAR?

Don't be an a**. Obviously May 5th 2007.

Geez dude. Chill. It was meant tongue in cheek. Get a sense of humor.

So did he, if you re-read his post.
